Springtime in Ivanhoe

The weather might not be as good as the best Melbourne can offer, but at Ivanhoe Market we're feeling in good spirits and have some excitement to share.

We've always felt that our market is more than a place to sell and buy gorgeous handmade goods, we feel it's a community. So we're trying to add extra activities each month to make your visit just that little bit more interesting.

Last month it was spinning with Teresa, this month we have several vintage, retro, pre-loved clothing for you to have a look at. Maybe find just the right piece for the Spring. It has to be just around the corner!

Next month, we're going to have a children's jewellery workshop with our Shirley.

You can book into that by contacting

2013 - the market is back!

We're getting ready for the first Ivanhoe Makers Market for 2013. There are new applications to look at and admire, and, all the behind-the-scenes activities.

Come and say 'hello' and see what our makers have been doing over the Summer.

Fair Trade in Ivanhoe

As you may be aware, the Livingstone Community Centre and Ivanhoe Makers Market are enthusiastic about supporting Fair Trade charities and businesses. This month we have Carpets for Communities, a fair trade charity that supports women in Cambodia. The carpets are wonderful, they've been at our market previously.

And recently, we've welcomed Diana Ackerman and her fair trade business, Koguis. Her beautiful and bright handmade products are fair traded from Colombia and involve interesting techniques and materials.

Hope to see you at the market on Saturday, (16th June) from 10am till 4pm.

Making a mark at Ivanhoe makers market

The Livingstone Community Centre is all set up, ready for our wonderful stallholders who arrived bright eyed and bushy tailed, tomorrow for the March (Saturday the 17th) Ivanhoe Makers Market.

We have two fair traders with us: Douglas Blane and his wonderful beadwork and Diana Akkerman who is a fair trade business. I didn't get to see her last month, but they tell me there was lots of wonderful handwork for sale.

Last month we also had Shameena Sheriff whose Henna art work obviously made quite a splash!

We also have Stephen Rosana joining us who makes speakers. I haven't seen his application, so I'm looking forward to viewing handmade speakers!

Anyway, come and see for yourself,

Cheers, Teresa
